Thanks all who have tested the mosh 1.2.6 release candidate so far.
We're still looking for a postive ACK that somebody has successfully tested
the release candidate on:
- Fedora
- OS X binary .pkg (
https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/releases/download/untagged-0d43a0f73825e9952677/mosh-1.2.5.95rc1.pkg
)
- OS X compiling from source
Thanks all,
Keith
